Le Creuset might be best known for its playful colorways and capacious Dutch ovens that can feed a small army, but the brand's latest launch is targeting a different demographic. The Gourmand Collection, which was released today, is designed with single-serve portions in mind and a contemporary, streamlined aesthetic—making it one of the brand's most unique offerings to date.

Whether you're whipping up a flavorful meal for one (single people unite!) or hoping to impress dinner party guests with restaurant-style individual portions of mac and cheese, Le Creuset's Gourmand Collection is designed to elevate the at-home dining experience. It reimagines the brand's best-selling bakeware, cocottes, skillets, and braisers with smaller capacities—ranging from 10.6 to 16 ounces. With prices starting at $280, these pieces come as a set of four and are available (for now!) in just one color: Licorice, a sleek matte black.
Don't let the miniature sizes fool you: the Gourmand collection doesn't skimp on function. Each piece is crafted with the brand's signature enameled cast iron, which is beloved by chefs and home cooks alike for its durable construction and excellent heat distribution that helps ensure even cooking. The only exception is a set of magnetic wooden trivets, which lend a rustic charm to your tablescape while protecting your surfaces from piping hot dishes.
Since each piece of cookware can withstand oven temperatures of up to 842 degrees Fahrenheit, the possibilities are practically endless. Fry up frittatas in mini skillets, bake berry crumble desserts for one, or broil cheese atop individual cocottes of French onion soup. Once you've savored your perfectly portioned meal, you'll appreciate that this cookware is a breeze to keep clean: each piece is dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance. Another thoughtful detail: the set is stackable, so you can store it away neatly without sacrificing precious cupboard space.
Ready to take your home cooking to the next level? Le Creuset's Gourmand Collection is available to shop directly on the brand's website, as well as on Crate & Barrel.
